Stopping U.S. Assistance To

Foreign Police And Prisons




Departments of Defense and State

Agency for International Development



In December 1973 and December 1974, the
Congress passed legislation stopping U.S. as-
sistance to foreign police forces and prisons,
except in the area of narcotics control. GAO
visited seven countries to see whether the pro-
hibited assistance was phased out.

GAO found the agencies took positive action
to prevent assistance from being used by
foreign police forces. However, GAO believes
the Congress should consider the need to
clarify its intent regarding indirect support to
units performing law enforcement functions
and the question of military assistance to
countries under martial law. GAO is also rec-
ommending end-use checks on narcotics con-
trol funded assistance and a reexamination of
certain dual-purpose units in Military Assist-
ance Program countries.
